Concise and to the point - thanks a lot

Hi people I started this two days ago (meaning I did Week 1, Day 3 today) I decided to do this as I became unemployed after 9 years of sitting on my ass (including depression, overeating, and smoking like crazy - when I became unemployed, I could no longer afford to smoke, so I figured I might as well get fit too - it's supposed to help with depression, after all ) It confuses me a bit - am I only supposed to do this three days a week, and then rest four days? Or should I repeat Week 1 and take 1 day of rest? Or should I jump on Week 2 tomorrow? I've never been much for running (at all) or any kind of fitness, so I don't understand how the whole resting-thing works. To add to that, even Week 1 has been VERY difficult for me - I have to slow down to basically a very slow jog after like...10 seconds...it feels embarrassing and like a failure. I am working on quitting smoking (though I use my e-cig quite a bit, to get out of the habit) the thing is - while it may sound stupid, the smoking has helped (in a way) with my asthma - by making the airwaves so inflexible that they Can't cramp up in the same way...now, with no smoking, I can't breathe at all when I start running... But I WANT to do this - so, like...any advice (aside from - obviously - quitting smoking, since I'm already doing that ) Do I do Week 1 repeatedly for a full week, or should I have 1-2-3-4 (which?) days of rest, or do I jump right into Week 2, or? The goal is to be able to RUN 6 km by October 2017, so I have time - but it would be great to get as good results as possible, of course Also, another problem - my lower back (right above my ass) hurts like HELL after each run - I know I am quite flatfooted, could that be why? If so; how can I help that, excluding good shoes or soles (I have no money; am unemployed, without insurance - I own 500 euro, until I can get a job, which doesn't seem to be any time soon...so I really, truly, cannot afford shoes no matter how I re-prioritise...) Thankful for any help
